xcalpr.c:89:21: error: initializer element is not constant
static FILE *fout = stdout;

Everything I'm reading says that hasn't been valid C since before ANSI standardization way back in the '80s.

Oh, duh. The Debian package page has a diff file downloaded separately, and some of them are patches to the C files fixing the compiler error I'm getting. Guess I should read it, edit the source, and re-diff them.

The latest date in xcal's CHANGES file is 1995-09-13.

I don't. Using cpp6 installed by the gcc package works.

a mediocre coder who writes well is twice as valuable and ten times as teachable as a great coder who can't string words together

computer science programs should spend a LOT more time and effort teaching students how to do effective technical writing

Programming which requires cussing: 

If a native HDBF VM exists and GCC is ported to it, then it's all over.

Chromium on Wayland on Linux on Brainfuck.

As #OpenBSD's de-facto wifi maintainer, I first learned about this WPA problem in June. A simple patch was provided which I could commit with slight modifications.

The original embargo was already 2 months long, and then extended again for 2 months.

The generall public (you) were left in the dark about this for at least 4 months.

This is a very sad state of affairs. It takes the industry much too long to apply a simple patch.

Don't worry about today's WPA2 vuln if you're running #OpenBSD - both 6.1-stable and 6.2 release are already patched.

I don't know if I need a version of gcc so old, but I'm wearing out.

I got past this error, at least.
$ su -
# pkg install gcc46
# exit
$ export IMAKECPP=/usr/local/bin/cpp46

I actually like the program xcal, but not only is it not in FreeBSD ports, the only place I can find a copy of the source is in Debian's source pools.

And the source won't build because clang doesn't translate ancient imake rules/macros right: X11.rules exists, but it's trying to include ' X11 .rules' (spurious spaces).

I for one would rather have real interactive people than one-way token celebrity endorsements in my social network.

I just noticed that what they're wearing during the comparison dances are...

...sorting hats.

YouTube is recommending folk dancers illustrating merge sort and bubble sort, too.
